Default 1998 AC454 - Front axle

If I'm right, the front axles (half shafts or whatever you want to call them) are supposed to just pop out of the differential correct? I got the left side out, but can't get the right side out for the life of me. I'm needing to replace a few seals in the differential, and I need this thing out of there. Is there anything I'm missing?

Maybe it has been replaced in the past and has the retaining clip style on that side?

It should just pop out. You may have to put a pry bar of sorts inbetween the joint and the diff. Just be carful because the diff is more than likely alumminum. Try turning the joint in a different position.

It will pop out. Some of them can be a real bear to get out. Arctic Cat has an adapter to fit on to a slide hammer that fits around backside of axle. If you could get a picture of it I think you could build one pretty easy.
